Drip irrigation is  perfect  if you live in drier areas ,  where water scarcity if felt. A drip irrigation system will  supply water sparingly , exactly where it is required , with little  waste. If you make combination of  a drip irrigation system with a thick layer of compost  and an intelligent  watering schedule, you can save yourself a lot of time and money, and produce a better  result in your garden .

Even in some areas  with  abundant rainfall on  an annual  basis, there can be  arid spells. As much as we like to look at our  gardens , standing about with a hose  can become  tedious after a  while . Sprinklers  offer enjoyment for the  children, but they do waste a lot of water through evaporation, which costs you money and  brings an unnecessary burden on the clean supply of water
